At Cheever Specialty Paper & Film we are more than your typical paper mill or distributor. Our capabilities and experience allow us to work with you design an innovative solution to meet your needs. Working within the framework of a 3 step process, our goal is to make sure your problem is solved.

An example of how this process can work is when we recently worked with a medical facility that was having an issue with keeping their operating room totally free of contamination. After first communicating with them, we learned the problem they were having is when they used a portable overhead lamp to provide light to the area of the body they were working on, sometimes germs or bacteria would bounce off the light lens and into the open area of the body. This could cause infection and was a serious health risk for patients under their care.

After learning what the issue was, we discussed possible solutions with them and came to the realization that a piece of film that you place over the light lens that is sterile and clean could solve their issue. The next step was the sourcing process to determine what material would work best. Once the material type was determined, then figuring out the best size, thickness, and adhesive type. This process involves trying out different options to make sure the best one is found. After a few iterations of trial-and error we were able to find the correct product that would cover the light lens without affecting the amount of light shining through, and would not allow germs to bounce off of it. This was a big benefit for the medical facility as they were able to solve their contamination problem with this lamp lens film.

As part of our full service offerings we also were able to offer this medical facility the option to hold this film inventory for them with our inventory program. This option allows 30, 60, 90 or even 120 days to hold inventory of this new product. With delivery times of 1-3 days, you can easily plan and schedule your ongoing needs.
